The song swap is a place for Houston artists to engage in community with each other onstage and we would love for you to be a part of it! We make sure to curate the nights with Houston artists that fit together. If you are a Houston artists wanting to take part please complete the application below!
The general outline of the night is there are 2-3 artists each sharing one original song after the other in two 30 minute sessions with a 10 minute break in between. Total of 5-6 songs each depending on the night.
This year's song swaps are being hosted by Bad Astronaut!

We do require all musicians to self accompany with a live instrument. Groups and duos are not part of this programming series. Each artist presents their own music playing their own instrument.
HMC will review your application and try to pair you with other artists in a way that uplifts everyone onstage. While we would like to be able to present everyone slots are limited and not all who apply will be chosen. Don't fret though! We have our open mic after the song swaps and our other events throughout the year for you to showcase your art!
Selected artists will recieve an edited video and a small stipend as compensation.
